Xnipec Salsa

This is a sweet-and-sour habañero chilli salsa from the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. Habañero, usually red or yellow, is an extremely fiery chilli, often confused with the infamous Scotch bonnet, which is also lantern-shaped. Despite its intense heat it has a fruity tone that goes particularly well with fruits and tomatoes. Use it sparingly, and take care when handling it. If you prefer, use milder chillies.

Lovely with grilled fish or chicken.
